Pucked Up is the second book in E.M. Lindsey’s Punk as Puck series featuring a group of friends on a community sled hockey team. I loved the previous book, Zero Pucks, in which the author does a great job of setting up the enemies-to-lovers romance that is the focus of this story, and I was…
Amy James’ Crash Test is an angsty and emotional story set in the world of motor racing that features two young drivers – one a contender for the Formula 1 world championship, the other driving in Formula 2 – whose lives are upended, in very different ways, by a horrific on-track accident. A serious or…
Allie Therin’s inventive and entertaining Roaring Twenties Magic series comes to a rousing conclusion with Viscounts & Villainy, in which our heroes – upper-crust cynic and self-professed arsehole Wesley, Lord Fine, and “dangerous marshmallow” Sebastian de Leon – come face-to-face with probably their most dangerous (and unhinged) foe yet. This story links back to events…
It’s always sad to say goodbye to characters you’ve come to know and love over the course of a long-running series, and bittersweet, too, because even though they’ve been through the emotional wringer, they’ve ended up exactly where they’re supposed to be – happy with each other and looking forward to the rest of their…
To Defend a Damaged Duke, Fearne Hill’s second foray into historical romance, is a cross-class, second-chance love story featuring a rather serious, introverted duke and the prickly owner of a gentleman’s club, who were lovers as young men – but were cruelly separated and have not seen each other for a decade. Rather like the…
Like Cat Sebastian’s 2023 release, We Could Be So Good, her earlier Peter Cabot Gets Lost is very much a “vibes over plot” story that keeps its focus very much on the development of the opposites-attract romance between the two leads. It’s funny and charming and utterly captivating, and I loved every minute I spent…
Crocodile Tears is one of those books I picked up on a whim because the synopsis intrigued me and which I started reading with no expectations. That I read almost 500 pages in one sitting should tell you something. It has a few pacing issues and is slightly repetitive at times, but on the whole,…
Body Check, book two in Brigham Vaughn’s Scoring Chances series, is an engaging and thoughtful age-gap romance between two men who have good reason to be wary of relationships but who, after an inauspicious start, are willing to work on their hang-ups and insecurities in order to move forward together. The characters are well-developed and…
Erin Dunn’s He’s to Die For is one of those books I could tell I was going to love from the very first page. It’s a superb combination of mystery and romance in which the author – in her first published novel, no less – does a terrific job of balancing the various elements of…
Now her books are being traditionally published, we’re having to wait a bit longer for new titles from KJ Charles owing to the longer lead-times usually required by the industry. Last year saw two new releases, the brilliant Death in the Spires in February followed by The Duke at Hazard, in July, but her next…
